I don't know how you could consider it an affront to Windows Mobile? Perhaps you're assuming that if the iPhone didn't exist, its users would all be on WM devices? I don't think thats accurate at all, given how rabidly most of them avoid MS products. The same goes for Office on Mac OSX. Why wouldn't MS want to maximise its profitability by making it available for all platforms? Its not like 10 years ago where the lack of Office available for Mac could have swayed people to use Windows instead, these days they could just fire up OpenOffice or Google Documents. Microsoft is a huge company, so its unsurprising that specific departments have a certain amount of autonomy and intend to make money!
